GOA is famous all over the world for its resplendent beaches and dense forests. Yet, for decades, the state has been driven by a desire to build large infrastructure projects that destroy natural habitats. The people of Goa have resisted, going to court and organizing protests. Often, they have won.
The credit goes to organizations like the Federation of Rainbow Warriors, a group of public-spirited citizens in Goa. Since 2014, the year it was founded, the group has been fighting against projects which uproot local communities and destroy the state’s natural richness.
